3.3.2.2 WARMING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT
q
Do not carry out any operation and do not shift the levers suddenly when the hydraulic oil temperature
is too low. Always carry out the warming up operations. This will lengthen the life of the machine.
q
Do not accelerate abruptly before completing the warming-
up operations. Do not let the engine run at low idling or
high idling speed for more than 20 minutes without inter-
ruption. If it is necessary to let the engine idle, accelerate
every now and then or increase the speed up to an interme-
diate value.
After starting the engine, let it warm up before starting work. Carry
out the operations and checks indicated below.
1.
Shift the accelerator lever (1) from the idling (A) to the inter-
mediate speed position (B), and let the engine idle at medium
speed for at least 5 minutes.
NOTE
q
When the ambient temperature is below 0°C, let the engine run
at low idling speed during the warming-up operations.
q
Do not accelerate completely or abruptly until the coolant tem-
perature has reached at least 60°C.
2.
Move the safety lever (2) to working position (F) and lift the
bucket from the ground.
NOTE
q
On machines with cab, there is a single safety lever located to
the left of the Operator.
